[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 371200, member: 2426"] What part do you disagree with? Every school should be a school first and have athletics as a extra-curricular activity. The only priority of the academic side of the school should be academics. They should look out ONLY for academics. No school should let athletes breeze through to make athletics better. I have seen high school kids who were great athletes that were allowed to skate through to ensure their eligibility. In my opinion, that is a complete disgrace. It is a horrible thing to do to the kid. It is even more horrible that the teachers and administrators do to that to keep middle aged men happy on Friday nights while the kid is completely unprepared for life afterwords. Colleges that have trash degrees to keep athletes eligible do the same thing. Keep the middle aged men happy on Saturday at the expense of the great majority of football players who will not get an NFL contract. My opinion about keeping the academic side of the school difficult, and separated from athletics has absolutely zero to do with an elitist attitude and everything to do with what I consider to be a moral issue of treatment of the student-athletes.
